There is a post credit scene. Everyone is saying thats pretty cool. I bet Spidey is there.

At one point Tom Hardy and Venom make out.

I’m sorry what? They lost me with the “turd in the wind” line, but now I am getting interested again.

[VinylGuy]

At least the Spidey animated movie looks fucking awesome.

WHAT FREE SPEACH KANYE

I agree with this guy. It's why I couldn't be a critic - I end up liking most of what I see and it has to be truly awful to get anything more than "it's ok".

[VinylGuy]

So this is an enjoyable disaster. Cool.

[Jorge]

I agree with this guy.

You've... seen it?

[bune]

Poor choice of words while I was busy with a spreadsheet.

Meant more that I agree with his take - it's probably going to be a wild movie that's not great but good enough.

So, Season of the Witch? OUT

‘Venom’ Review: This Mess of a Marvel Supervillain Movie Bites

In the first scene of Marvel’s utterly unmarvelous Venom, an alien space ship crashes and burns on earth leaving behind a slithering mass of defanged, digitalized slop. That’s also a fair description of this puddle of simplistic, sanitized PG-13 drivel that Marvel has released instead of the scary, dark-night-of-the-soul thunderbolt fans had the right to expect. Tom Hardy and a massively overqualified cast, including Michelle Williams and Riz Ahmed, have been reduced to putting on a clown-show for kiddies in a shameless corporate product where the creativity stopped with the balance sheet. This year gave us the best and most imaginative Marvel film in Black Panther. Now we have the worst.

And the special effects are strictly bottom shelf. Social media has been all over Venom, accusing fans of stuffing the Web with fake bad reviews so A Star Is Born won’t whack it at the box-office. Don’t sweat it. No one has to fake a bad review of this. The ending suggests there’s a Eddie/Venom buddy sequel in the offing. Someone needs to bite the head off that idea pronto. Audiences have suffered enough.

[Jorge]

So this film is some goofy ass bullshit that feels plucked straight out of the year 2003, but it's worth watching only for Tom Hardy's completely bonkers performance, which alternates between Sean Penn in I Am Sam and Nic Cage in Vampire's Kiss

So marvel took one of their most popular characters, made a film that’s a dumpster fire and a laughing stock. Maybe they should pump the breaks and stick to comics.

Sounds like the Solo: A Star Wars Story approach

WAy to miss the joke Jorge

[@SkitchP]

Am I confused on the rights thing again? This isn't really a "marvel" film is it? I thought Venom was Sony

[LoathedVermin72]

It’s Sony
